The weather is too wild for Lois, so she's waiting to greet you inside today from 10 am - 5:30 pm. This liquid gold is great for the fields but not so great for our very old building so please use the Remax door when you come for your warming coffee or tea, or maybe you still need to sign the Water Not Coal petition? This is the last week to add your voice to this important issue so come see us today!
